Jerry, I had a go at the dipole antenna from the website you suggested.
What's confusing me still is how one arrives at the cut lengths for each side of the dipole.
The calc on the site 467 divided by freq, then halved, arrives close to the same result i get from my calc of 300 divided by freq, then halved and halved again. The end result is a difference of quite a few inches. What I don't understand is why the difference? which way is the right way?

Heres a few shots of the atempt and the calculations used to get the lengths. I still have to work out the dials and switches on the receiver yet.
